While Ford is planning some higher-powered trims of its new Mustang Mach-E, an all-out performance version has not yet been announced. That may soon change, at least based on some footage we received that shows a heavily modified Mach E testing at a track in North Carolina.

An anonymous tipster shared video with us and confirmed that the footage is from the North Carolina Center for Automotive Research (NCCAR), located in eastern North Carolina. The Mach-E shown makes some glorious electric noise, and it's apparent that it is far from factory spec.

The front and rear body panels of the car have been removed as have the front fender. It appears to have a custom suspension and steering setup as both the front and rear tracks appear to be wider than the street car. Cooling has been upgraded as fans and radiators appear to be visible at the front and rear of the car which are likely being used to cool the electronics and electric motor that is sitting in the rear.
